Coat Refashion

Coat Refashion

Hi again! It's Kaysi, from Keeping it Simple. I'm excited to show off today a refashion I did on my daughter's coat. I LOVE the heat transfer vinyl, it's awesome!!

I have three boys and then my baby, a little girl :). Now that it's winter, I had to look for a coat for her. Then I saw that I had a little red jacket from my third boy. He barely used it, so I thought that I could use for her. The problem, whenever I put her in a "boy" color, people call her a boy. So I had to make it look girly and cute for her!!

This is how I made it:

1) I took the little red jacket.

2) Using my new CAMEO (have a mentioned that it is awesome!!!), I cut out the flowers out of the heat transfer vinyl. The settings I used were: 1 blade, 8 speed and 14 thickness. I used colors: apple green, silver, white and pink from Expressions Vinyl.

3) I used a flower that had a inner flower and then the outline. So I peeled out the inner flower.

4) The inner flower didn't have plastic with it. So I used the multi-use paper when I ironed it on.

5) I then started to layer the flower, using the multi use paper each time I ironed it.

6) Next I put on the outline of the flowers onto the jacket.

Here is all the flowers on it, so cute, huh?

I felt like it needed some bling, so I added some rhinestones to it. To do that, I used the rhinestone starter kit.

7) I cut out the blue specialty paper with my CAMEO. I set the blade to a 3 and the thickness of 33.

8) Next I peeled off the back and placed it onto the backer board.

9) I then filled it with the rhinestones.

10) I placed the transfer paper onto it and pressed hard to make sure that all of the rhinestones came up.

11) I then ironed the rhinestones onto the jacket. Using the wool setting, I ironed it for 45 seconds.

12) Then I ironed the inside of the jacket, to set the glue.

I made another flower for the other side. I used the same blue paper and transfer tape as the first one.

And now she has a super cute and girly jacket!

Hopefully no one will think that she is a boy in this..... oh maybe someone will because she has been wearing purple and pink and still gets mistaken as a boy.....

Come by my blog and say hi, I always love new friends!!
